TAPPS institutes mercy rule starting the fall

[AggiesAreWe]

TAPPS institutes mercy rules for football, basketball (will affect Kelly and Legacy) , starting with 2012 football season

[Dick Vitale]

Do you really think thats a GOOD thing? What does it teach about being competetive? and never giving up? Intentionally running the score up is one thing, but losing is a part of the game, and so is losing BIG...Just a thought...

[no-look]

Where will the boundries be?

[whsalum]

My version of the mercy rule is "If you don't want to get beat bad, GET BETTER !!!!! ". Let's just give everyone a trophy Geez !!!

[/quote] I think its a wussie rule but I can see where it affects Kelly and Legacy, especially Kelly. Kelly is competing against schools who are [s]recruiting [/s]..errrr enrolling athletes who compete at a higher level. Kelly does not have that option

Orange Community Christian TAPPS 1A District 8 already has that rule. Rule after start of 3rd quarter if you are up by 30 points there will be a running clock. The rule will be enforced when a coach ask that it be. We only have had 1 school in district ask for it and that was Texas Christian out of Houston so far this year.
